This brilliant picture captures the moment when 1-year-old toddler Jaxson Denno burst into tears, disappointed because he’d got his hopes up and was expecting to see Iron Man, but was actually just met with the sight of actor Robert Downey Jr.

The poor little youngling didn’t recognize the infamous actor without his super suit (or distinctive Stark facial hair) and soon started blubbing! And Robert Downey Jr doesn’t look too happy about it either! I guess he’s not used to his fans bursting into tears as they see him! Since the image was captured, it has proved hugely popular and gone viral, possibly because Downey Jr looks fantastically unimpressed by his situation too! Continue Reading

People have really taken a shine to Paperman, the six minute black and white 3D hand drawn/computer animated short that first appeared in 2012 before Wreck-It Ralph. This short won the Academy Award for Bets Animated Short Film at the 2013 Oscars, marking Disney’s first win for an animated short film since It’s Tough to be a Bird back in 1969.

Going off of Paperman‘s popularity, Eddie Snow has started his own Paper Series artwork on his Deviantart account. The series, so far, contains four different images. Each one portrays Meg, the female lead in Paperman, striking the same pose with the same background behind her. How each image differs is who she’s with. We see Meg standing next to a variety of different characters: a cocktail holding-iron suit clad Tony Stark, a charming Captain Kirk in the foreground and a logical Spock behind, the ever suave Don Drapper, and an intrigued Brock Samson. The combination of this Disney short with Iron Man, Star Trek, Mad Men, and Venture Bros is perfect, and it’s such a treat to see each of these well known characters from different fandoms drawn in the Paperman style.Continue Reading

Robert Downey Jr aka Tony Stark and Iron Man is rumored to be playing hardball with film execs, campaigning that his Avengers co-stars get a substantial pay rise for the sequel.

In the first movie, Robert Downey Jr was paid a whopping $50 million for his role in the blockbuster, whereas his co-stars were said to have only been paid a measly $200,000 in comparison. The Avengers smashed box office records when it was released in 2012 and went on to become the 3rd highest grossing film of all time. The Iron Man star is said to be campaigning to make sure that his fellow cast get a much better deal this time. Continue Reading

Iron Man fanatics (and the clumsier iPhone owners amongst us) might be interested in this epic Mark VII Armor case that will keep your smartphone safe from alien invaders, worm holes, the Mandarin and all those in his allegiance, oh and it should also protect it from the occasional drop on the floor too!

The case, which is constructed to look and feel as though it is made of the same indestructible metals as Stark’s infamous armor, has a section that slides out of the shoulder of the case so that you can access the camera. As if that wasn’t cool enough, the case also has an “arc reactor” power core that flashes when a call is received!! Continue Reading

As Iron Man 3 storms the box office and tops film charts all over the world, those satirical folks, the Screen Junkies have succumbed to popular demand and given Iron Man 2 the Honest Trailer treatment.

So just in case you need a little recap of what happened in Iron Man 2 before you go to the cinema to see the third installment of the Stark trilogy, you’ve got their scathing summary of the film referred to as “the forgettable placeholder while they worked on the script for the Avengers.”

Check it out, even if you are a fan of Iron Man 2, the Honest Trailer is (as always) hilariously funny and definitely worth a look-see!

Check out this incredibly awesome fanmade Iron Man suit that was created by 17-year-old Archie Whitehead, from Welwyn Garden City, UK.

Whitehead’s Iron Man suit, is so fantastically realistic that you could almost believe it is a replica from the actual movie. He said he got the idea to create the suit after seeing that someone in the U.S. had created an Iron Man costume using fiberglass. However, at 17, he really couldn’t afford those materials so he went about finding something a little more reasonably priced that he could use to construct Tony Stark’s infamous armor. His answer came in the form of a foam Halo costume that he stumbled upon online and he set about using foam to create this incredible Iron Man costume. Continue Reading

It’s no secret that Tony Stark is the superhero with the very best gadgets and devices, unfortunately much of these are fictional and we don’t have the technology to create them, so ardent Iron Man fans will just have to settle for memorabilia which is almost as cool, just not quite as explosive or effective at villain-catching!

Like this awesome red and gold Iron Man mouse from Japanese company e-blue. It’s released under an official Marvel license, so you don’t have to worry about it pissing Stark off. It is wireless and does everything a normal mouse would, only it looks a damn sight more impressive. It’s got light up eyes and comes with a presentation case for those of you who prefer dazzling your friends with your Marvel gizmos but not actually using them! Continue Reading
